Management Report
2013
25
1.4.3.1.3 Preventing environmental risks and pollution
Ubisoft’s definition of environmental risk is based on the GRI definition
4
.
The Group’s own activities do not present any significant industrial and environmental risks since the
Company does not manufacture the video games it publishes and distributes (and associated ancillary
products).
Nevertheless, the Company remains alert to regulatory changes in countries where it is present.
The Group’s main expenses and actions relating to environmental protection are presented in greater
detail in the "Pollution and waste management" and "Sustainable use of resources" sections of this
report.
1.4.3.1.4 Provisions and guarantees
The Group currently has no knowledge of any industrial or environmental risk.
Ubisoft did not record any provision, purchase any insurance to cover potential environmental risks, or
pay any compensation in this regard during the financial year.
POLLUTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT 1.4.3.2
1.4.3.2.1 Releases into the air, water and soil
Since the Company does not manufacture the video games it publishes and distributes (and
associated ancillary products), the risk of releases into the air, water or soil issued directly by the
Group and seriously harming the environment appears to be non-existent.
In fact:
- Waste issued by the Group is not classed as hazardous according to applicable legislation;
- The Company is not concerned by accidental spills
5
, given its activity;
- Water is only used for domestic purposes.
1.4.3.2.2 Management and elimination of waste
The Group has identified four categories of waste linked to its activity:
- Paper;
- Computer hardware;
- Products which cannot be sold on distribution platforms (marketing, promotional, etc. items);
- Other consumables (batteries, ink cartridges, green waste, etc.).
The majority of the Group’s waste is sent to landfill or recycled.

“An environmental risk refers to the possibility of occurrence of incidents or accidents generated by a company’s
activity and which may have significant and harmful repercussions on the environment. The environmental risk is
assessed taking into consideration the probability of occurrence of an event (risk) and the level of danger.”
5
In accordance with the GRI definition: “Accidental release of a hazardous substance that can affect human health,
land, vegetation, water bodies, and ground water.”
